I thought the rocket engine was suppose to be mounted to the new roadster?

Sort of a nitpick, but it's not actually towing, it looks like it finished towing since it is stopped and someone's getting out of the back.
However, this is great news for the ability to tow.

1380 lbs. A Chevy Bolt could tow that rocket motor. They're designed to be VERY lightweight.

The vacuum Raptor would weigh a bit more than a sea-level Raptor, so... Not sure what the total difference would be, though. Wikipedia says 3500 for the V2 Raptor rocket engines.
And don't forget those big trailers weigh quite a bit, too.
